Alexei Yevgenyevich Urmanov (Russian: Алексей Евгеньевич Урманов ; born 17 November 1973) is a Russian figure skating coach and former competitor. He is the 1994 Olympic champion, the 1993 World bronze medalist, the 1997 European champion, the 1995–96 Champions Series Final champion, a four-time Russian national champion, and the 1992 Soviet national champion.

Personal life
Urmanov was born on 17 November 1973 in Leningrad, Soviet Union.[1] In 2001, his partner, Viktoria, gave birth to twins, Ivan and Andrei. The couple married in 2004.[2]
Career
Urmanov started skating in 1977.[1] Early in his career, he was coached by N. Monakhova and Natalia Golubeva.[1]
Competing for the Soviet Union, Urmanov won the silver medal at the 1990 World Junior Championships. After the end of the Soviet Union, he chose to compete for Russia. In 1991, at age 17, he became the first skater to perform a quadruple jump, at the European Championships.
Urmanov competed at the 1992 Winter Olympics, where he placed 5th. He won the bronze medal at the 1993 World Championships. At the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, he won the gold medal.
Urmanov chose to remain in the competitive ranks. He became the 1997 European champion, but an injury forced him out of the 1997 World Championships after the short program and kept him from competing for a berth to the 1998 Olympics.[3] He retired from Olympic-eligible skating in 1999 and won the World Professional Championships the same year. Urmanov was coached by Alexei Mishin at the Yubileyny Sports Palace in Saint Petersburg.[1] During the 1990s, the rink often had poor-quality ice and other problems, resulting in limited training time.[4][5]
Urmanov is an Honoured Masters of Sports of the Russian Federation. He works as a skating coach[6] and an International Skating Union technical specialist. His former students include Sergei Voronov, Nodari Maisuradze, Zhan Bush, Gordei Gorshkov, Nikol Gosviani, Polina Agafonova, and Anastasiia Gubanova.[7] Urmanov currently coaches Yulia Lipnitskaya[8] and Deniss Vasiļjevs.[9] He was based in Saint Petersburg until 2014, when he moved to Sochi, to coach at the Iceberg Skating Palace.[10] He sometimes holds summer camps or clinics in other locations such as Luleå, Sweden, and Paris, France.[11]
